A Rajput group announces award of Rs 5 Cr to whoever beheads Deepika

Sanjay Leela Bhansali's period drama film Padmavati is tied up with numerous controversies and has created chaos all around the nation (especially in Rajasthan). A film which has now become a synonym to the Rajput's pride has been asked to be shelved by the various Rajput committee members.

After the Rajput Karni Sena threatened to chop off Deepika's nose, the police have increased security at her residence in the city. Amidst all this havoc, another Rajput organisation has announced to offer a sum of Rs 5 crore to whoever beheads Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Deepika Padukone.

"Anyone who brings the head of Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Deepika Padukone will be rewarded with Rs 5 crore. Rani Ma Padmavati had sacrificed her life with 12,000 other women in mass immolation (Jauhar), and Bhansali has raised a question on her courage by showing her in bad light in his film. This is unacceptable. Either both of them should leave the country or get ready to be beheaded," said Thakur Abhishek Som, national president of Akhil Bharatiya Kshatriya Yuva Mahasabha, as quoted by TOI.

The group is opposing the release of this film with a view that Bhansali's Padmavati distorts historical facts while showing the story of Rajput Queen Rani Padmini.

"Some members of the Thakur community who hold important positions in the state may not be protesting against Padmavati, but a large number of others will fight for the honour of Rani Ma Padmavati. Bhansali must re-read history to know the real facts about her", added Thakur Abhishek Som.

"I'm not afraid of the police and I am ready to sacrifice my life for this cause. No one will be able to protect Bhansali and Padukone, Thakur added".
